Chapter 82 - Transfer (1/2)

Gary opened up the envelope and pulled out the letter inside. As Gary started reading the letter, he didn't move a muscle. He stood still like a statue, while his eyes were glued to each and every word he read.

It had been a good ten minutes and Gary still hadn't moved. It was as if he was reading the letter over and over again.

The whole room felt like they needed to be silent because of the atmosphere that was coming from Gary. Until Dan couldn't take it anymore.

”Hey man, are you okay?”

As soon as Dan spoke those words Gary dropped the letter and ran out of the room.

The letter floated through the air until it touched the floor landing right next to Dan.

”It's probably just his girlfriend breaking up with him or something.”

Everyone gulped, they knew the letter was serious and wanted to find out what had made Gary react like that but at the same time, they wanted to clearly respect Gary. All but one person that is.

Dan went to the floor and picked the letter of the ground.

”No!” Monk shouted, ”Do you remember what happened last time?”

”What happened last time,” I asked?

Everyone started to avoid eye contact with me. I had no clue what they were talking about or why they were acting like this.

Dan wafted his hand in the air ignoring Monks warning and started to read the letter. Then even Dan was frozen stiff. Dan was a big talker almost as much as Kyle so to see him speechless, it must have been something important.

”Well then, what is it?” Martha asked

Dan then folded up the letter and placed it on the table.

”I don't think this is for us to see, someone should go out and check if Gary is okay.”

This was a strange sight to see, Dan was never compassionate towards others, so whatever the contents of the letter were, it had to be serious. We all split up and looked for possible places we might find Gary

After looking around common hangout places at the academy I decided to go to the roof. When I opened the door, I could see a blond boy's back looking over the edge. I walked over slowly to Gary thinking about what to say.

I was hoping I wasn't the first one to find him, If Gary needed comfort then I defiantly wasn't the best person for that. Slyvia, Martha heck even Dan might have been better. As I got closer to Gary he could hear the sounds of footsteps approaching him.
